We are thrilled to announce the first official release (v0.1.8) of #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗿, the successor to one of our flagship tool, #𝗯𝗲𝗱𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗹𝘀! Based on ideas we conceived of long ago (!), this was achieved thanks to the dedication of Brent Pedersen. 1/n

There really is no such thing as "the perfect green" linktr.ee/boldpolitics

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

I have eaten the planets that were in the inner solar system and which you were probably saving for living on Forgive me they were delicious so crunchy and so warm

"'We are both scamming each other, you and I, and I intend to win.' When a classroom becomes adversarial, of course, as cop shit presumes, then there must be a clear winner and loser." - Jeffery Moro, Against Cop Shit jeffreymoro.com/blog/2020-02...

that's messed up, cellular automata aren't supposed to be able to do that.

That’s right Worf, they covered up their ongoing genocide with as much PROPAGANDA as POSSIBLE, including a bloody LIE disguised as a FAIRYTALE that, unbelievably, some people in the quadrant STILL BELIEVE TO THIS VERY DAY!! “THANKSGIVING”?!! MY BLOODY ARSE

I AM TRAPPED IN A COFFEE JACUZZI OF MY OWN DESIGN

Rachel Reeves says this Labour Governments decisions are "necessary." Why is it always necessary to hit the living standards of the 99%? When are we going to make the necessary decisions about extreme wealth?

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!

www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mo... I made a mod that replaces cliffracers with Thomas the Tank Engine. I am incapable of learning lessons whenever it involves corporations, because I fundamentally do not view toy company CEOs or media CEOs as people. #morrowind #thomasthetankengine

If a politician: -Has never cared at all about whales before; -Is in the pocket of big oil, an industry which has a financial incentive to oppose alternative energy; and -is a well-documented liar, You don't have to take their "we have to stop offshore wind to save whales" claims seriously.

I made a machine steal the work of a real human being. It's almost as if the stolen work it regurgitated seems like it was written by a real human being. Instead of giving that credit to the breathing person it was stolen from... perhaps the theft machine is actually alive??

The removal of trial by jury in Britain is a HUGE assault on the right to protest. Time and again juries find in favour of climate campaigners, pro-Palestine actioners, and more. Popular opinion on these issues is an inconvenience for the state, so it must be quashed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

this is a lot like glamorizing the kid with leukemia doing a lemonade stand fundraiser to pay for his treatment. when the dust settles let's pass a law criminalizing the romanticization of reactions people have in desperation to a broken society and an intentionally anti-human economy.

Ok; mim (github.com/COMBINE-lab/...) preprint submitted! Excited for folks to see it and share thoughts. The key takeaway; mim allows the quick, one-time, building of a small auxiliary index that then allows scaling gzipped FASTQ parsing linearly in # of threads. 1/2

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

it just didn't have the legs 😢

extremely prescient

Gosh with any luck you might be able to avoid doing science altogether

"You can agree or disagree with him, but Polanski does not pretend to be something he is not. He is unusually willing for a politician to give a straight answer to questions. Does he want to rejoin the EU? “Yes." observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.

Whistles are one of the most accessible tools in resisting ICE. Here’s how to use them:

Why is the onus on *us* to interpret their babble as something clever and good rather than the onus being on *them* to make sense?

A Government of cowards. Rather than tackle inequality - they've gone for pensioners, disabled people and now it's people fleeing war and persecution. They can't get away with this. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I think this could work

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.” Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

I am delighted to have been elected to the Board of Directors of The International Society for Artificial Life (ISAL), together with talented colleagues from around the world. I look forward to serving such a wonderful & diverse community where disciplinary boundaries disappear!

Look around.

Whether it's Zohran Mamdani or Claudia Sheinbaum, progressives are finding their voice around the world 🌍

Local areas can lead the way on protecting nature, making lives better and securing a safe future for all of us - but they need government to stop starving them of funds. @carladenyer.bsky.social led the way with her Climate Emergency declaration. Now time for the Government to step up.

I wrote a review of James Watson's obituary by CSHL: liorpachter.wordpress.com/2025/11/08/r...

Her sister wrote my favorite essay about her. She points out that RF would have been famous even if she'd never looked at DNA www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

‘Study after study shows that students want to develop these critical thinking skills, are not lazy, and large numbers of them would be in favor of banning ChatGPT and similar tools in universities’, says @olivia.science www.ru.nl/en/research/...
